<span>Kwang Jeon observed that Amoeba had been attacked by a bacterial infection, and lots of the Amoeba had died. However, some survived and continued to reproduce. After investigating the remaining Amoeba and their offspring, he noticed they were very healthy. He thought maybe they were able to fight off the bacteria, but instead, he found they were still infected with the bacteria but were not dying. The bacteria were no longer making the Amoeba sick. Then, he killed off the bacteria using antibiotics and was surprised to see that the Amoeba also died. It seemed the Amoeba and bacteria had formed a relationship in which they both needed each other to survive. After researching, Jeon found that the bacteria made a protein that the Amoeba needed to survive. </span>

azamat

Answer:

The correct answer is B) HOOCCH2CH2COOH(aq)

Explanation:

Both Ka1 and Ka2 are low, so the acid will dissociate only slightly into HOOCCH2CH2COO- ions and even more slightly into -OOCCH2CH2COO- ions. The concentration of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) will be consequently low. The species that will be in the highest concentration will be HOOCCH2CH2COOH (the weak acid not dissociated).

A substance with a high pOH would likely have which of the following?

Anna [14]

Answer: a low $OH^-$ and low pH.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$pOH=log\frac {1}{OH^-}$

Thus as pOH and $OH^-$ are inversely related, a solution having higher pOH will have less amount of $OH^-$ concentration. And a solution having more pOH will have less pH.

Thus a substance with a high pOH would likely have low $OH^-$ concentration and low pH.

The chart shows the voltage of four electric currents.

masha68 [24]

Answer: The correct option is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.

Explanation: To answer this question, we will require Ohm's law.

Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor across two points is directly proportional to the voltage difference across that two points.

Mathematically,

$V=IR$

where, V = voltage

I = Current

R = resistance

For the given question, assuming that the resistance is constant. So, the current is directly proportional to the voltage.

$V\propto I$

Hence, as the current W is greater of all the given currents so, it will flow at a higher rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.

Consider the structures of benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. Benzene ring with a CH2OH attached Benzene ring with an aldehyde gro

damaskus [11]

Answer:

no equivalent peak, upfield between 0 and 3 ppm

Explanation:

NMR stands for nuclear magnetic resonance. It is a spectroscopic technique that is used for observing the local magnetic fields around an atomic nuclei. It is used to study the chemical, physical and biological properties of the matter.

In the context, the structures of the benzaldehyde and the benzyl alcohol are distinguished by the proton NMR. The hydrogen atom of aldehyde appears downfield between 9 and 11 ppm and also there is no equivalent peak for the alcohol.

The methylene hydrogens will only be significant upfield between the 0 and 3 ppm peak between the given structures.
